Suzan Posted November 26, 2009 Report Posted November 26, 2009 Ahhhh, 3 beautiful days! After our increased zith success, I want to believe it's the abx. Fingers crossed that it just keeps getting better. With the blood draw with Dr. T, does he do it himself at the office? I'm worried he'll have blood to draw on my dd when we go and she is terrified of it since her blood seems to stop flowing mid draw. Susan

Happy Turkey Day Mines in the oven Melanie Thanks for the info! We are on 500 mg of zith right now. We found out by trying it out of desperation. Next day, it was like a different girl. Dr. T spoke to me about possibly switching to clindimicin but that was before we got this success out of the zith so I'm not sure what will happen on our visit. I hope he will agree with a trial. Sorry about your insurance company. I can relate! Susan

Melanie It's supposed to last 6-8 hours...so you could give it up to 3-4 x daily. Long term, it might be safer to give it less frequently (maybe 1-2x daily). How much does Danny weigh? Make sure Danny takes it with food.
thereishope Posted November 27, 2009 Report Posted November 27, 2009 With my son, I would start to notice behaviors kicking back up at the 5 hour mark. I was giving it every 6 hours . That one hour wait until I could give it again was so long. I gave it to him every 6 hours when it is bad . Then when he just seems on edge (but not sure if it's PANDAS or not yet) I'll give it once in the morning-timing it around school. I think it's more for my comfort knowing he has it in his system for school.I do not regularly give it to him on a daily basis.I just wanted to say that so you know I wasn't giving every 6 hours for real long term. Yesterday, I was trying to look up info on Ibuprofen and I guess it also is used to help delay the start of Alzheimer's and dementia. But, like with PANDAS, naproxen does not seem to work as well. Then I was finding some other studies on IB and the BBB. So the connection has been made before. It will be interesting as the decades go on to see how all this different disoder will benefit frome each others research.
